Wavetrac ATB Front LSD for 02E 4WD Quattro DQ250 DSG Transmission
Wavetrac Front ATB Limited Slip Differential for 6 Speed Automatic DQ250 02E DSG Transmission Wavetrac are the only gear diff on the market that does not lose all drive when one axle is unloaded. Axles become unloaded in aggressive driving, track cornering, extremely slick surfaces, etc. It happens more than most people realise. An example to explain how this work is that when you have a conventional gear diff, you're on a race track for a track day and during cornering your inside wheel bumps over the curbing. This is normal for track driving. The issue is that for the brief moments your inside tire becomes unloaded when bouncing over curbs, your other wheel is not getting drive / is not putting power down. Gear diffs need load on both axles in order to function. The result on a track (or during aggressive driving) is that there are many times when a normal gear diff supplies only intermittent power to the gripping wheel. The difference with the Wavetrac is the patented cam device in the Wavetrac diff prevents loss of drive when that inside wheel is unloaded. The device is able to generate a load inside the diff (to replace the lost load as it happens) that can then be biased to the gripping wheel - in the end making more consistent power delivery through a corner. That makes the car more predictable, and faster overall. There are two options for the Parking Ring, 20 and 25 tooth. This can only be checked by stripping the Gearbox down and counting the teeth Please check before you order, otherwise we can swap for the correct differential, but you will need to cover the shipping costs both ways. One of the most underrated benefits of the Wavetrac is its smooth delivery of power near the limit. Its patented design makes for a very predictable, smooth addition of power when you need it most - when things are at their limits: on the edge of traction mid-corner and using throttle to keep it there; or coming into a corner a little hot, but quickly back on it to maintain exit speed...These situations are often subjective to the driver, but the benefit can be felt. The Wavetrac makes you faster because it lets you drive with confidence. Smooth is fast.
